A delightful twist on classic baked chicken, featuring a crispy Parmesan crust and a tangy Dijon mustard glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
Ensure the butter is fully melted for easy mixing.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the cheese.
Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Use tongs to keep your hands clean.
Transfer the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Press firmly for a thicker coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts in an ungreased baking pan.
Leave space between pieces for even cooking.
Drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the chicken.
This adds extra flavor and moisture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of your choice for a complete meal.
